Congratulations are in order to Caelin, Grant and everyone at Shunyata. They turn out a great product and each and every employee there is terrific. I've toured the factory and seen how it's made and been inside Caelin's lab to get a glimpse of his mind at work

Kudos Caelin. The medical market is a whole new ball game and glad to see your products get recognition in the cardiac cath lab.

Congratulations indeed. That kind of endorsement is next to impossible to get.

I can see it now though. Audiophiles picking their heart surgeons on the basis of what AC cords they use. :D Or worse, bringing their own prior to their operations. :D :D

I must say that I was skeptical about these products but ordered the defender as it was not too expensive and popped it into my system this week. I will be losing the system soon as that part of the house is going to be demolished and my old room turned into a master suit but wanted to experiment as the attic will be enlarged first and be the audio room. Hence I wanted to experiment with the electrical. I have 2 dedicated lines with the amp plugged into one outlet alone. I put the defender into the top of the outlet and was darn impressed with the improvement I heard. Much less noise, smoother sound more detail. Needless to say, I will be getting neither for the other line. And no, I will not be spending the $$$$$$ for the mega bucks stuff as I would rather spend that kind of money on other things. Two of the defenders will do very nicely. Great stuff.

Guess this kinda shoots a big hole for those who claim that the last "x" feet of power cables, etc. from the AC outlet doesn't matter.

Glad you heard a justifiable difference; imo ... noise-floor issues are insidious by nature and somewhat difficult to describe; their existence recognized only after removal.
